    It was our first time in Ireland and we really wanted to see the authentic live traditional Irish music. We knew we didn’t want to go to tourist pubs that put on shows for visitors. This tour was incredible! We learned the history and journey of the music. Then we got to visit three wonderful little pubs. It was like stepping back in time — deep into the tradition. We made new friends and stayed in the last pub til closing time. Best tour and best tour guide we ever encountered. And great value for such a special experience.

    We booked this experience because we wanted to immerse ourselves into an environment that gave us what Traditional Irish Music was pile have sounded many years ago, and this event exceeded all of our expectations. We heard excellent traditional Irish music and met great people who shared the same. We will definitely do this again when back in Dublin!

    Fabulous Dublin traditional Irish music pub tour, fun, and educational too. Our guide, Nall, first got the group acquainted with each other, and then gave us a glimpse of the traditional Irish folk music (the locals call it “Trad”) with its history and with the history of Ireland woven in, informative (jigs and reels). And he distinguished Trad from the amplified sound in most Dublin pubs. We visited 3 pubs, where Nall carefully engineered us in pairs to get close to the musicians. Our visits included players of 3 fiddles plus pipes and a bassoon, then a group with 1 fiddle, a pipe, a big 8-string mandolin, and Irish bagpipes, and finally a group of 2 banjos and a guitar, singing ballads. All widely different, including a sad acapella song that even quieted the pub. With a round of pints or soft drinks at each. Walking between pups, we were treated to glimpses of Dublin history, with numerous anecdotes. What a night! I will remember the scene and my guide for a long time. Thanks.
